Instructor-Led Training or Self-Study
After you have a clear idea of the information you will need to pass your Microsoft certification exam you can decide whether to take certified instructor-led or self-study courses. It’s a good idea to start with formal instruction from an expert if you are new to IT certifications.
You have the option to choose from a range online training programs or in-person.
Instructor-led courses offer several benefits:
- Informal instruction by IT professionals who are experts in their field
- Instructional labs and study materials
- You will have one-on-one instruction with an instructor to answer all your questions
A self-study path may be better if you feel confident enough to tackle the task on your own. You can find study materials for IT certifications online. The key to success is learning how to effectively use the resources.
Self-study has many benefits:
- Accessibility is easy even if there are no classes in your area
- If the course is too costly for you, cost savings are possible
- There is no need to have a class start and end at the same time as your job schedule.
Remember that study materials may not be tailored to your needs. There won’t be anyone to help you with questions that aren’t covered in the study materials.
Take Notes
No matter what method you choose to learn, taking notes is an important thing you can do. This can be done either the traditional way with a pen and paper, or on a computer. Your brain will appreciate the help in any way.
It’s a good idea for you to keep a list of technical details that you find in your study materials, especially if it is something you don’t know. Technical details can include registry settings, configuration settings and command-line options.
Not only will note-taking help you stay focused and organized, but it can also help you spot things that may seem confusing or complicated. You can revise for the exam by taking notes and retain what you have learned more easily.
Practice is the Best
There are two types of practice that are important: exam practice and technical practice.
Tech practice is the setting up of a lab environment in which to practice the technology on the exam. This includes different operating systems and virtual networks. While this may not be possible for everyone, it is something that should be tried. It is helpful to set up a laboratory environment for experimenting and practicing with features that you are unfamiliar with.
Practice exams can be taken by taking timed tests, whether they are created by you or from pre-made materials.
It is just as important to know how to use the test as the content. This means that you can quickly go through the test and understand how each question is structured and what information it asks for.
If you find yourself in an awkward situation where you cannot practice alone, you should seek out someone who has passed the exam or study materials that contain real questions from past exams. They can help you with the test and offer tips for how to answer.
It is possible to fail your Microsoft certification exam. Practice exams can help you identify your weaknesses and make adjustments.
Many training programs, including those offered at MyComputerCareer include practice tests. These practice tests are useful to determine your strengths and areas that need further study.
Conclusion
